According to Jan Jaedike from the German magazine Rock Hard , Dog Eat Dog “impressively prove that brass and hard guitar sounds do not stand in the way”. The band has to be credited with the fact that they “have what it takes to write songs that stay in the ear without being ingratiating”. All Boro Kings would be a "pleasant surprise", for which Jaedike gave eight out of ten points.
All Boro Kings reached number 30 in the German album charts, number 21 in Austria, number 17 in the Swiss and number 99 in the British album charts. The single No Fronts: The Remixes reached number nine in the British and number 45 in the German single charts. The remixes were created by Jam Master Jay from the band Run-DMC . At the 1995 MTV Europe Music Awards , Dog Eat Dog were recognized in the Breakthrough Artist category.
The German magazine Visions led All Boro Kings in August 2018 on their list of 25 crossover albums for eternity. For Jens Mayer, the band "with their colorful shorts, silly puns and the saxophone would have consistently undermined the prevailing, grimly aggressive habitus of the oh-so-masculine representatives of New York Hardcore ", which made Dog Eat Dog "an asset to the scene" would have. All Boro Kings "still exude the stormy charm of the free-spirited 90s".
